Tony Bennett is still looking around, possibly seeking to add another player to the 2010-11 recruiting class. Bennett already has about thirty new kids in that class, so what’s another one?
I’d be pretty surprised if Bennett actually signed someone else. There are six kids coming in as first-years this fall, and I can’t imagine they’ll More >

While watching the Dallas-San Antonio NBA playoff series, I keep having the same thought, and it came back to me while writing the post below about Sylven Landesberg.

Sylven Landesberg has been answering questions here. I know a lot of UVa fans are down on Sylven after the way his UVa career ended, but there’s a lot of interesting stuff in here. Including this:

I don’t know if Billy Baron will end up being a star or not. He wasn’t very highly recruited, frankly, but he does appear to be exactly the type of player that will thrive in Tony Bennett’s system. He also appears to be the type of player that UVa fans will enjoy: a hard-nosed kid More >

There’s probably only one way Tony Bennett and the Hoos could’ve erased much of the lingering pain from Thursday’s collapse against Tech: by going on the road and beating North Carolina.
Mission accomplished. Virginia went down to Chapel Hill and demolished a UNC squad that, frankly, looked like they didn’t care for much of the game. More >

Over at Dear Old U.Va., Ben takes a very interesting look at Virginia’s offense, and asks if they are headed in the wrong direction.

Just a couple of weeks ago, we were discussing the fact that Calvin Baker seemed to find a role in the program, and had been named one of the team’s captains. Now, not so much. Jontel Baker has really taken off, and now this:
Following Virginia’s 69-57 loss at Wake Forest on Saturday, the normally talkative More >
